But Italy is also divided on the expenditure for purchases: while 32% of those who see a decline in the coming months lies in the South, only half, 16% is located in the North.

slightly downhill, on a national level, the share of households that is not satisfied with their financial situation (item which includes, in addition to income, any debts and assets) in October are still the majority, but down from 54% to 53% . Again, they are very strong differences between the macro-areas of the country: the North families who perceive themselves satisfied are 58%, Centre 45% while in the South only 36%, while 64% of households dissatisfied resides in the South, 55% is located in the Centre and 42% live in the north.
